'Cutest pet' calendar contest now on at local bank

SOUTHBRIDGE — Call it their pet project – or even a pet peeve, if you will – but it's something local pet lovers can truly bank on.

Actually, there are at least two projects at play here. One is the annual "Cutest Pet Calendar Contest" now going on at Savers Bank, located in Southbridge and five other area towns. The second is a truly innovative idea – the introduction of bank accounts created for pet cats, dogs, gerbils, or even money-grubbing macaws.

Who's kitten whom? Has the world of local banking simply gone to the dogs?
